About Luliderm 1%W/W Cream 20gm

Luliderm 1%W/W Cream 20gm belongs to a class of drugs called antifungals primarily used to treat fungal infections of the skin like ringworm, jock itch and athlete’s foot. Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and cause infection. Fungal infections may be contagious (spread from one person to another). Ringworm is a common fungal infection of the skin that is contagious and causes a rash resembling worm in a ring shape. Jock itch causes an itchy, red rash in the groin, buttocks and inner thighs. Athlete’s foot usually starts between the toes and causes itching, burning or stinging sensation due to a scaly rash.

The fungal cell membranes are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stops the leakage of cell contents. Luliderm 1%W/W Cream 20gm works by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi. Thereby clears the fungal infection. Cream 20gm is only for external use. Take a small amount of Luliconazole 1%W/W Cream 20gm on the finger and apply as a thin layer on the clean and dry affected area. Avoid contact of  Cream 20gm with nose, mouth, eyes or vagina. In case Luliderm 1%W/W Cream 20gm comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Some people may experience redness, swelling, irritation or burning sensation of skin at the site of application. Most of these side effects of Luliderm 1%W/W Cream 20gm do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Luliderm 1%W/W Cream 20gm or any other medicines, please tell your doctor.
